Engine gets growing

A couple of months ago, a most excellent communications group Engine heard about our Growing Scheme. They liked the idea so much, they wanted to set one up of their own. So that's just what we did.

Engine generously gave us some money for materials, so we bought seed compost from Camden Garden Centre (an amazing place, that's also a social enterprise) and picked up 150 biodegradable coir fibre pots from The Hairy Pot Company. Then we got started.

Now there are future seedlings lining the window ledges all over Engine HQ. Which means by September we should have 150 healthy woodland plants to add to the meadow.

Engine are pretty feisty bunch, so there's bound to be a bit of competitive growing going on when things start to sprout. More details as and when...
